Andy Sanborn’s proposed 43,000-square-foot casino off Loudon Road could be one step closer to construction after a lawsuit challenging the city Zoning Board’s approval of the development was denied.

Kassey Cameron, a Concord resident, filed lawsuits against both the city’s planning and zoning boards over the approval of Sanborn’s casino on Break O’Day Drive, which includes a microbrewery and restaurant.

However, last week’s Merrimack Superior Court order reversed the ZBA’s decision that Cameron has standing to appeal the planning board’s decision.

While the court recognized Cameron’s active involvement in the planning board proceedings and her concerns regarding the character of the building, it found her property’s proximity, about a mile away, did not provide sufficient standing.
